Yes, someone told me you can't get a tornado in a city....or something like that. The heat from the pavement is too hot and it slows down the funnel cloud....
Of course, I remember that tornado hitting downtown Nashville, so I dont know how accurate that is...
I'm pretty midtown now, versus 30 years ago. Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Glendale all built up, they are on the edge now.
I love a monsoon though!
